College of Idaho outfielder Izaac Garsez was selected today by the Chicago Cubs, with the 914th pick in the 30th Round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Players Draft.

The two-time NAIA All-American and two-time NAIA West Player of the Year hit .389 as a senior, with eight home runs and 53 RBI, leading the NAIA with a school-record 12 triples.  He added 20 doubles, 29 stolen bases on the season, leading the NAIA West with 93 hits and 75 runs scored.  He was recommended by Cubs area scout, Al Geddes.

Fueled off a trip to the AVISTA-NAIA World Series, The College of Idaho climbed to No. 10 in the postseason NAIA Top-25 Coaches’ Poll, released this afternoon by the national office in Kansas City, Mo.

The Yotes (41-21) received their highest national ranking since the 2002 season – well ahead of their No. 22 ranking earlier this season.  It was the second-highest jump in the poll, as national runners-up Rogers State (Okla.) climbed from No. 23 to No. 2.  The C of I received 326 voter points in the final poll.

Four College of Idaho baseball players were among the 243 student-athletes honored today as Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes, announced prior today's games at the AVISTA-NAIA World Series in Lewiston.

Tanner Hodges, Jesse Dodd, Brett Ward, and Bryan Hildebrand were honored for having being at least a junior in academic status and maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or better at The C of I.

A three-run home run by Braxton Miller in the first inning held up for Lewis-Clark State, as the Warriors knocked off The College of Idaho, 5-1, in an elimination game at the 56th Annual AVISTA-NAIA World Series, before a crowd of 2,530 at Harris Field.

The Warriors (42-13) will move on to play either LSU-Shreveport or Rogers State on Monday afternoon, while the Coyotes season comes to a close at 41-21.
